Any 360 performance feedback that I’ve had at work, or feedback that I’ve received over the years has said that I appear ‘confident’
.
Those that know me know I’m filled with doubts and neurosis. The contrast has always struck me as quite interesting.
.
But the key is that I don’t let those doubts and neurosis stop me from acting (unless of course we are talking the dating world and that’s a whole other bucket of something).
.
I try things and I act. Eventually the stuff that I try gets easier. Sometimes it doesn’t but mostly it does. And that builds confidence. Because the more you believe you can do something if you try it, the more confident you become. The more confident you are, the more you try.
.
It simple words - just do it. Because ‘fake it ‘till you make it’ really has legs.

We have wooden discs/signs made from ancient oak timber on there way!

We took time to work on writing our letters today.
Salt tray writing is our idea of writing today because it was fun to write on a canvas with a texture! And of course sensory play was next when we introduced our animals to the salt. Marrying play and learning is our kind of thing. #playtolearn#learntoplay#childhoodunplugged

I could quote Coco Chanel for days on end — it’s that or quoting from `Team America’. Strange mix, eh? … Back on the topic of voicing your thoughts though. I am finally working on a blog post and newsletter content. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since last year but then work and building up my own studio took all my attention. That, and my month away in Germany 😅
.
.
.
To be honest, it freaks me out a little to start posting more content than just visuals. Let me know if there are any topics that you’d like to read about from me, or content you’d be interested in when signing up to my monthly newsletter. Would love to hear from you guys x

Are you marketing your business? Marketing is such an important part of your business. Good marketing helps your customers understand why your service or product is better than or different from your competition.

#brandexperience
What is said about you when you're not in the room. The one thing your competitors can’t copy. The best way to make your mark, cut through the crap and connect with your people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your people. ALL people. Customers, clients, community, candidates, employees. Gone are the days you had an #employerbrand and a #consumerbrand and a #communitybrand .
.
Thanks to the Internet and social media, they are all one and the same now. ⠀⠀
.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you lack a strong employer brand, people will refer to your consumer brand when considering applying for jobs. .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your public-facing brand has been trashed, people won't buy from you or try working for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A cohesive and consistent (and positive!) brand experience will lift you up above your competition. People will come to rely on you, trust you, and buy from you. The power is in consistency. .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how are you controlling your brand narrative?
Or..
... Prefer to fly by the seat of your pants? Here are a few tips to get you thinking strategically about your brand experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Map your people journey; customers, clients, community, and talent. Where are those initial and key points of contact? Social media? Website? Face to face? .
- Identify your key messages. What are you saying at each touchpoint? Are you communicating your values and core truths? Are you the same with randoms that you are with clients? .
- Are you living your values? Do your customer complaints conversations carry the same tune and voice of your sales process? Does your recruitment process sing true to your brand promise? - Now, identify the gaps and the inconsistencies and connect a cohesive strategy. ⠀
.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A distinct brand voice and promise will create an unbeatable brand experience. Let me know your tips for making an impression!

💥 Here’s a tip 💥 — According to psychologist Jerome Bruner, we are 20 x times more likely to remember a fact if it’s told to us with or in a story 📚 .
.
How do you story-tell though, you ask? Where do you find the inspiration?.
.
You pause ✋ .
.
You reflect 🙇🏻‍♀️.
.
You take notice 😲.
.
Rather than dive straight to the fact, or the end result. You take them on a journey. You share your thought process. You share with them the how and the why.
.
Paint that Image into your reader’s minds. As though they can almost feel it, taste it, and smell it. 🎨 (by the v talented 📸 @paulfuentes_design)

Making sure the essence of your brand is in your imagery is important. But it doesn’t need to be all shouty and in your face.
.
Detail shots that include at least a small part of your brand essence is just as impactful - especially on fast moving platforms like Insta and FB.
.
The sweet soft florals of these amazing shoes is all we need to get a sense of the classic, soft and nurturing elements of Jo’s SAGE brand type.
.
Challenge your eye - what message would this image give you if those shoes were bright red? Or even strappy gold? What mood or emotions would they evoke? What might they say about the person wearing them (apart from how the fuck do they walk in them?!).
.
Also - imagine me, laying on my belly half on the road half in the gutter on a very busy Paddington Street corner. #itssoglam

Ok, truth time. Yesterday a friend asked me, “why do you post photos of random things on your insta that have nothing to do with marketing?”⠀
⠀
If she was thinking it, then a lot of people probably are. These photos build my brand story. Marketing isn’t an in-the-box, uninspired world. I draw creative inspiration from everything; art, fashion, food and people. Yes, I have a bit of a colour theme going, but that paired with the wild, creative, amazing imagery tells people that what I do is not in the box. My marketing isn’t plain Jane 😉

What does your Instagram feed tell people about you?⠀

Yogis - are you trying to build your studio membership? 🧘🏼‍♀️Using Analytics you can find out which of your classes are viewed the most online & whether that compares to actual bums on mats.
⚡️
Are your class numbers seasonal? Analytics can track when your website is getting the most engagement so you can focus your advertising during quieter months.

Data is for EVERYONE! Get comfortable with yours today.

You can never change your past but you can stop living there. Do what needs to be done to let it be. My top two strategies to do this are to:
1. Talk about whatever’s holding you back. Talk with someone able to hold that information and provide support, not shame (this can be done by writing it down, too, if you are able to be your own support person). Keep talking until you can let it be.
2. Start to act contrary to who you were in the past, and keep acting that way. Pay attention to these actions, so you acknowledge yourself changing. The past will loosen its grip when you’ve banked enough action that doesn’t fit with your ideas of who you were, back then.

| SOME DAYS FEEL LIKE THIS |
Some days you look at the never-ending to-do-list and this is pretty much what comes to mind? Yep, me too! On these kinds of days I pull out the three things that need to get done (note I said need, not want) off the list and put the rest of the list out of sight. And then, sit down and chip away at those three things until they're done. Sometimes being reminded of all of the to-dos cloud my brain so just shifting it into a manageable chunk gets me back on track and back into being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
What's your tactic for getting through these dark kinds of days?

I have been breaking out something CHRONIC lately😭 (I blame the constant alcoholic celebrations of quitting my full-time life 🍷- yes, I’m still celebrating 2 weeks later)⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve literally been caking on the makeup 💄every single day so I can leave the house and I HATE doing that! This has reminded me it’s SO important to ensure your skincare is also toxin-free.⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I use to buy a lot of the drug store stuff (which I’m pretty sure made it worse) instead of doing my research and using something that is natural and clean!⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of my clients are skincare based & I’m so grateful I get to discover new & amazing products that freaking work. (do yourself a favour & check out the Vitalize Face Elixir from @maaemo_organic , it’s a game changer🙏)⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does the quality of your skin get to you girls? Do you cake the makeup on like I do if you’re breaking out or face the world courageously & let it breathe?⠀

I just sent out a stack of emails asking for testimonials from past clients. Social proof is so important in the buying process yet I know I am not the only one who feels uncomfortable asking for testimonials.
.
What’s your trick on doing it comfortably and naturally?

Do you pin?!⠀
⠀
Over 200 MILLION people use Pinterest every month 😱 This means your dream clients ARE on Pinterest, and you need to start utilising this platform.⠀
⠀
“Another social media platform to manage?!” I hear you! Well actually, Pinterest is not a social media platform, it’s a search engine! And you can see massive growth on your website traffic by spending just less than an hour a week! 😅⠀

Just when you thought you had the SEO thing down pat, another consideration (a very important one at that) has come into the spotlight. Enter natural language search 📣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is natural language search?
Basically, a natural language search is a search using voice prompts rather than physically typing out the query in google or similar. Siri got the ball rolling and now more and more mobile users are using this function. 📲

Chasing the Monday blues with our fun STEM activity of colour mixing.
We had fun learning about primary colours and how when mixed, forms a secondary colour. And in the process, we did a quick revision of our colours in both English and Chinese. #bilingualkids
We also gave those little fingers an exercise with the droppers. Because you need those fine motor skills to transfer the colours!
It was an all rounded activity and of course, we ended up with the colours of the rainbow. Well, almost. #stemforkids#teachingideas#earlychildhoodeducation

Mars has now edged his way back into the sign of Capricorn prompting a re-consideration of ambitions

What inner work needs to be done to chase those dreams?
💜
Perhaps the need to over-give highlights activating stronger boundaries, self-belief or self-care?
